SULFUR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters-Patent No. 734,397 dated July 21, 1903. Application fi ed August 19,1902- Serial No. 120,247. (No model.)

dioXid with a minimum amount of sublimation resulting therefrom.

For this purpose my invention consists in the following construction and combinationof' parts,' the details of which will first be fully described and the features of novelty thenset forth and claimed.v

Figure 1 represents a longitudinal vertical section of a device to which I have appliedv myimprovements. Fig. 2 is a transverse Ver-' tical section taken through the line was of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail plan View of-the burnerdoor. Fig. at is an end elevation. Fi 5is a side elevation of the device.

In the drawings, 1 represents a horizontal cylindrical chamber provided with end holes 2 for cleaning the same. Chamber 1 is pro vided with an axial intake-opening 3 at one end and at the other with an outlet-opening 4, through which the S0 is taken for the particular industrial use desired. Along the top of the cylinder 1 is disposed an air-supply pipe 5, connected with the pipe 6, leading to any suitable air-compressor. This pipe 5 is provided with a series of vertical depending branch air-pipes 6, which pass down through packing-boxes in the cylinder and discharge near the bottom of said cylinder. The cylinder is lined with fire-brick 7 or other refrac The cylinder is provided with tory material. a safety-valve 8 and an air-gage 9. 7

The sulfur is introduced into the cylinder through the door 10.

The cylinder 1 is provided with a frame 11 for supporting and guiding the door 10, whereby the same may be opened and closed quickly. For this'purpose the door is provided with a counterweight for lifting the door upon releasing the pressure of the clamp which holds it down.

The vertical air-pipes C are connected with the air-pipes 5 through horizontal pipes 12.

The cylinder is supportedfirmly upon the foundation by means of gusset-supports 13.

The sulfur dioxid produced by this burner is provided with a latch device for holding the door upon its seat and applying pressure thereto for sealing the same. A counterweight is also shown supported by a cord running over pulleys and'attached to the lever-arm, the Weight of which is sufficientto lift and open the door immediately when the door is unlatched.

It is to be understood that while I have shown a cylindrical receptacle, yet the receptacle may be of any suitable shape or size. In Fig. 5 an air-pump is shown for supplying air under pressure to auxiliary pipe 5. It may also supply air under pressure to pipe 3 by being suitably connected thereto or an independent source of supply may be furnished.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure burner-chamber having a main air-supply pipe under pressure and a discharge-opening,

with a second independent air-supply pipe under pressure disposed outside the chamber and having branch'pipes projectingtherein extending down near the bottom of the burnerchamber and means for supplying air under pressure to both supply-pipes.

burner-chamber having a main supply-pipe under pressure and a discharge-opening, with a second independent air-supply pipe under IO) 3. In a sulfur-burner, the combination of a pressure disposed outside the chamber and having branch pipes projecting therein and having a series of branch pipes terminating near the bottom of the burner-chamber and means for supplying air under pressure to both supply-pipes.

4. In a sulfur-burner, the combination of a burner-chamber, main air supply and discharge openings, auxiliary air-supply pipes 10 terminating near the bottom of the cylinder,

a door for supplying sulfur thereto, means for clamping the door, and a counterweight for actuating the door.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
